 Super Bowl flyover to cost taxpayers up to $100,000 Published January 31, 2014 FoxNews.com    Army helicopters from the 101st Airborne will perform a flyover during Sunday’s Super Bowl in East Rutherford, N.J., which will cost taxpayers about $100,000, a Pentagon spokesman said.
Col. Steven Warren, the spokesman, said these flyovers need to be approved and are still technically on a "restricted" status. The Pentagon sees the Super Bowl as a good venue for potential recruiting benefits, he said.
The Pentagon plans on conducting Combat Air Patrol with military fighters around MetLife stadium to enforce the temporary flight restrictions there.

If I were going to be in the stadium, I wouldn't want those helicopters flying over. Flying around the area--fine, but not directly over the stadium.  I don't trust those things to stay airborne.

Wow, that's almost as much as Michelle's hair dresser ------ for one trip, not for a year.

There are lots of helos and F-? flying around here.  So they put on a show there.  It is more entertainment than some of the other "training" exercises they do.


Who pays for ALL the security things like this involve?
